Hello, I am in the very early stages of a 2yr battle of starting the process of obtaining a diagnosis for my 4yr old. I need additional advice on how to best respond to my child’s behaviour issues and more information as to living and managing my child’s behaviour due to possible ADHD/ASC/Sensory needs. Thank you K***

Pat was a great help in explaining the sections of my daughter’s draft EHC plan to me. She provided support, advice and guidance. I would highly recommend the SENDIAS service to all parents who require SEND advice and support.

Sendiass has been a massive support to me and my son. They stepped in and supported us when the school would not listen, when the school had all the wrong answers and basically failed my son...... Sendiass supported us in gaining a much needed EHCP, even when the school said he did not need one. I cannot thank them enough for all their 100% support. THANK YOU ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pat has been so supportive walking us through the whole process of getting our son's EHCP and advocating on our behalf. She followed up on everything and kept us informed and let us know our rights. I would have been lost without this service and I now feel confident that my son will get his needs met. Thank you to Pat and the team for this support. I would highly recommend this service to others for support.

Pat has been helping me for over a year, she was amazing& we couldn't have got we we are today had she not been involved. Pat was supporting us right through the EHCP process for my 13year old son who wasnt in Education towards the end for over 5 months& she worked so hard to help with the tribunal process . Pat always called me back& often spent over half an hour on the phone to me. Sendiass do an invaluable service & I wouldn't think twice about calling Pat if I need there help in the future . Thanks so much

Yvonne has been nothing but helpful from the start of my sons EHCP assessment, I can not thank her enough. She has answered all my questions and concerns. She has contacted the council numerous times to find out what was going on and was always so quick to keep me updated. This service is amazing and unbiased and am glad I got in touch.
